Meh, i hate Nina but she did try and succeed in creating a counter measure to her creation. Though she was responsible for the first ever use of the FLEIJA, she bullied Suzaku into using it, tempting the 'Live On' Geass within him. But if you think about the bigger picture, her successful counter measure aided heavily to the survival of key characters that were instrumental in bringing down Schneizel & eventually bringing about peace between the U.F.N and Britannia. Whether that's enough atonement is up to you i guess.

I'm not entirely convinced Villeta and Ohgi had much bad karma over their shoulders... Sure they helped Schneizel convince the other BK's that Zero can't be trusted, but they were pretty much being swayed by Schneizel's words and proof anyway. Also, Zero had a chance to let his voice be heard, give his side of it. I mean, he's led them through many battles and victories, most of them acknowledge that they'd be dead without him and no one else could have taken them that far. I believe they would have listened to Zero if that's what he wanted. But HE made the decision to have as less people affiliated with him when he went down as possible. Only Kallen realised it in the end, that he did it to take all the blame for his own.

Or at least, that's the impression I got.
The greater good? Sure, as long as he was in charge of it. Being made a slave of Lelouch is probably the worst thing for him, he'd rather die given the choice.
